Too few sampled comments (2) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
Linked for company news, such as a farewell post about a former Blockstream CTO, and for SafeGCD, the modular-inverse algorithm. Commenters cite these posts as sources rather than praise them.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 2 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

HN discussionAs another example of this, In [1] I've taken a python program for counting (a bound on) the number of iterations needed of the SafeGCD algorithm to compute a modular inverse for any 256-bit (relatively prime) modulus, translated the python into Coq, and proved the implementation correct. Then by running the computation within Coq we produce a theorem about the bounds (e.g. at most 590 iterations needed for the HD v…
